Dear bAgawathAs,

 

Since many non tamil speaking persons also knew " kaNNinun siRu

tthAmbu " byheart, the gOshti was even more blasting this time.

SrinammAzwAr went around Sri namperumAL twice, as the first 5

pasurams were chanted in the loudest possible gOshti ever. On

the third time the circuit was not completed but Sri nammAzhwAr

was turned and made to face Sri namperumAL and was standing

straight opposite to Sri namperumAL.

 

The gOshti was pouring in emotion. This time everyone was

getting back Sri nammAzwAr from SrivaikuNdam for lOkak skhEmam.

The happiness on the face of those who all cried was clearly

visible. The words in any langauge cannot express this anubavam.

Now Sri nammAzwAr was taken in the reverse keeping him always in

the darshan of Sri namperumAL face to face and was walking

backwards in the silver path laid out earlier. Whatever perumAL's

thiru uLLam is the thiru uLLam of all SrivaikuNda vAsis. Sri nam

mAzwAr's thiru uLLam also coincided with perumAL's Angyai of

" thanthOm, thanthOm, thanthOm " . However, in the enaction it

appeared that as if Sri nammAzhwar had no " manasu " or heart

to come away from perumAL & the few muktha jivAs of gOshti

are dragging him from perumAL for the benefit of mankind. Now

it looked was as if the tears of " pirivu " was flowing from Sri

nammAzhwAr himself due to the separation from Lord.

 

Once the kaNNinun siRuthAmbu ended Sri nammAzhwAr also was at

the spot where he began when soozh visumbum was started. Now Sri

bAlaji bhattar did tie the parivattam for Sri nammAzhwAr and all

achAryAs. The bAgawatha utthamAs were still assembled in both

sides of the silver path. Sri Venkat now took Sri namperumAL's

sadaAri and was WALKING in the holy silver path all the way from

Srivaikundam. On both of his sides two muktha bAgawathAs carried

perumAL's mAlai and theerttham. The perumAL sadAri was now duly

received by Sri balaji bhattar at the other end of the holy

silver path. The sadari was adorned for Sri nammAzhwAr. It is

also aitheekam that Lord made Sri nammAzwAr's own words to come

to effect. ie Sri nammAzhwAr delivered on Sri Oppiliappan that

he is himself the sadari or " thAL iNaiyan " . ie the sadAri of Sri

parama patha nAthAn came to boolOgam for the benefit of all man

kind in the form of Sri nammAzhwAr. After this the sARRumuRai

was performed. As per the official head count there were

approximately 450 bAgawathAs assembled for this event.
